The University brought Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo officers and Rodeo Scholars to campus on Monday to recognize their work and efforts. According to the Houston Rodeo website, the organization has donated $283 million to educational initiatives since its creation in 1932. More than $165 million of that cost went toward direct support for educational programs since the scholarship was first awarded in 1957; nearly 2000 students are currently supported by the scholarships offered by the Rodeo, with more than 200 students studying at UH. UH President Renu Khator was also present to offer words of encouragement to and support for the group. | Photo courtesy of Cesar Muniz
